Chapter 1349 Kendrick Hofstead

As night descended, the presidential suite on the top floor of the hotel blended with the darkness outside. The room was so dark that it was impossible to see anything.

"When are you coming?" asked Colton with a chilly edge to his voice. He was standing before the floor-to-ceiling window while admiring the night view of Florend's capital.

"I'll be there tomorrow. What's the matter? You miss me already?" The voice of the person on the other end oozed charm, especially when they deliberately drew out their vowels toward the end of their speech.

Colton was in no mood to entertain the person's flirting, though. Instead, he only stated what he needed from them. "Mm-hmm. Get here quickly with what you're supposed to bring."

"How heartless! I'm coming all this way to help you out, man."

"Beryl." He called out the person's name in a cold voice while gently swirling the glass of red wine in his hand. Suddenly, he realized that today might be the first night he didn't end up as drunk as a lord, though he didn't understand why.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore." Beryl reverted to his usual voice devoid of the initial allure.

Switching to a different posture, Colton turned around and sat on the back of the couch. The neon lights outside kept flashing as if adding splashes of color to the dark night. He knew that Beryl was being dead serious right now, which indicated that he had something important to discuss.

"It's true that they're near you, but they're lurking in the dark, while we're vulnerable in the open. We need to be cautious in everything we do." Beryl's voice was imperturbable with a touch of iciness. This enemy was even more formidable than anyone they had faced before; one could say that they appeared out of nowhere without any warning. "There's a well-known company close by that's very powerful in Florend. Coincidentally, it's headed by a Restradian named Kendrick Hofstead."

Colton's expression turned serious the moment he heard what he had wanted to hear. "Kendrick Hofstead?" He repeated the name through slightly parted lips. In an instant, his face darkened. This name sounded familiar to him. "I know this fellow."
